<ul></ul><p>In the savefile 'weird velocity bug.sfs', it looks like the nav-ball is set to use as its control point a docking part on the side of the rocket.<br />That docking port is pointing retrograde, but the rocket is not.</p>
<p>If I right-click on the command pod and select 'control from here' the nav-ball orientation changes, and then if I rotate the craft to the command pod is pointing retrograde, the rockets slow down the craft relative to Minmus, as expected.</p>
